UPDATE: The KillaCycle is no longer at the Forney Museum, Denver. We had the honor to have the KillaCycle displayed that the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles during 2022. After that, it was shipped to its new home country New Zealand, where we (Bill & Eva) now reside.
————————-
Taking the risk of sounding a bit braggy, we have to admit that the KillaCycle is one of the most iconic electric racing vehicles in the history. It set countless of records on the 1/4 mile dragstrip, and was the first electric vehicle in the 10s, 9s, 8s, and 7s, with an all time best ET of 7.62 seconds and a top speed of 174 mph (280 km/h).

For almost a decade, the KillaCycle dominated the world of electric drag racing. The KillaCycle was officially retired 2014 to make room for our land racing effort, which you can follow here: www.GreenEnvyRacing.com and make sure to “like” us on www.facebook.com/EvaHakanssonRacing for the latest news directly in your feed.

If you never had a chance to see the KillaCycle in person, you can now see at the Forney Museum of Transportation in Denver, Colorado, USA. It will be on display at least through the middle of 2020, perhaps longer.

The Forney Museum is located on 4303 Brighton Blvd Denver, CO 80216, and is opened every day.

The KillaCycle is now on it’s way to New Zealand. Whew! It was a lot of work getting it race-ready, building spare motors, and just figuring out what bare essential support equiment we needed to race it.

Eva did a LOT of the packing and organizing while I went through the bike and built spare motors.

We are really looking forward to racing head-to-head agianst the top drag bike teams in New Zealand. We are very excited to having Ian Wilkins on his fast and spectacular-looking drag bike in the other lane against the Killacycle.

We will be racing Ian Wilkins at Meremere drag strip on January 31st. The day before, we will be displaying the KillaCycle at the “Show and Shine” associated with that event.

Take a few moments to visit the “New Zealand 2010″ gallery in our photo album to see Ian’s drop dead gorgeous bike (and Eva loading the huge crates on the freight truck.)

Green Stage, New Zealand

The KillaCycle and crew have been invited to race in New Zealand this coming January and Feburary. This is REALLY going to be fun to race the Killacycle “upside down”.
Team Greenstage is making the arrangements and sponsoring the transport.

We will be racing the KillaCycle at the “New Zealand 4 and Rotary Nationals” on Jan 31st at Fram Autolite Dragway, Meremere and showing it at Greenlane Showground’s, Auckland Jan 30th.

There is a possibility we may be racing the very fastest drag bike in New Zealand, head-to-head, on Jan 27th at Taupo International Dragway, NZ. This should be exciting because the current NZ drag bike record is 7.615 and 172.19 mph. The KillaCycle has managed to go 7.82 and has a best top speed of 174 mph, so this will be a real drag race. No joke. Here is a picture of the bike we might be racing:

Athol Williams

We will be displaying the KillaCycle in several locations (I’ll update as the schedule firms up) during our NZ stay, Jan. 23 to Feb 10th.

The KillaCycle will be racing at the NEDRA-sponsored Wayland Invitational event on the evenings of July 24th and 25th.
As special treat, we will be racing a 1/10th scale model of the KillaCycle head-to-head in the 1/8th mile. The Shredder X radio-controlled scale drag bike folks, (with a few high-performance goodies from Castle Creations ) are going to give the “big” KillaCycle a serious challenge. No joke.
At Portland International Raceway

The Motorcycle Drag Racing Association has invited the KillaCycle to make exhibition passes at their event at Las Vegas drag strip on June 20th and June 21st. As always, we are out to set new NEDRA world records.

Please join us in Las Vegas and drop by to see the KillaCycle, (and us) in person. You are more than welcome to stop by and see us in the pits, take pictures, and take videos. If all goes well, you could see yet another world record!

We’re excited to announce the grand opening of our new online store at
www.killagear.bigcartel.com!

We are currently selling official KillaCycle® team tee shirts. We plan to have more products for sale in the near
future. Thanks for visiting!

Unbelievable as it may seem, the organizers of the Driving Sustainability Conference, with the help of IcelandAir airlines, are shipping the KillaCycle® to Reykjavik to show at the conference and race on the one and only dragstrip in Iceland.

The crating folks from CraTek came by this morning to take measurments for the bike, the pack, and the support equipment. (I highly recommend these folks. They work fast, make a top-quality crate that will get your goods there undamaged, and their prices are very competitive.)

We will be there from September 13th though the 22nd keeping our fingers crossed (and “holding our thumbs” as they say in that part of the world) hoping for a favorable weather window to run the bike on the strip.

The KillaCycle® will be on display at the conference and I will give a presentation on the design of high-performance electric vehicles.

See you there!

(This will be lots of fun. They have awesome geysers and stuff….)
